Tom, Oh, Tom...Wherefore Are Thou Our Sweet Tom?

Athens, GA (Feb 3, 2008) - Tom Brady and the New England Patriots did not have what one would call a stellar first half in Super Bowl XLII. This picture from the pregame warm-ups shows what looks like a totally disinterested Brady and could easily have been taken towards the end of the first half:

Joe Buck, in the halftime show, said that Brady seems to be out of his rhythm. The problem is that he seems to have had no rhythm at all tonight. The numbers tell the story: 8-14, 82 Yds, most of those in the last 2 minutes of the half.
